May 13, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

8 Tips for Moving to a New City or State via @semihealthnut at semihealthyblog.com

First of all, I need to say that I’m not an expert on the topic of moving. After a month I still feel like I am settling in and learning new things about my new city and state (and still getting lost)! I can offer a few tips on moving to a new city based on what I have learned so far! I hope this can help anyone who will be relocating from their hometown.

I got to go back to Nebraska a couple of weeks ago like I talked about in my Thin Mint Cookie Pie post! I feel like we go back a lot..maybe a lot more than most people who live away from home do. I think both Dave and I miss our family a whole lot and can’t wait to move back. I wanted to share a little recap to a. show you all my yummy eats, b. show you some Valas Pumpkin Patch (and cute nephew) pictures and lastly c. brag about my run.
